How to manage _time field with schedule change in Europe zone ?

Hi, 

With the time change, my logs are shifted by one hour (logs from an HEC input) :

It is the same case on many logs from several sources.

Like logs from Azure add-on (the props is correctly set with a TIME_PREFIX on the field Horodate)

And same case from other add-on...

How can I fix this ? 

Thank you!

What is the TIME_FORMAT setting in props.conf?

Is the system clock correct?  What time zone does the system use?

Actually, I have this issue on many logs.

What is the TIME_FORMAT setting in props.conf?

Example of props.conf for the two pictures below :

[sourcetype_picture1]
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = false
LINE_BREAKER = ([\r\n]+)
TRUNCATE = 999999
TIME_PREFIX = \"\@timestamp\"\:
 
[sourcetype_picture2]
SHOULD_LINEMERGE = 0
category = Splunk App Add-on Builder
pulldown_type = 1
INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS = json
TIME_PREFIX = Horodate
 
This both example worked good until the schedule change on Sunday. 
 
Is the system clock correct? 
Actually I did not find a TZ by default for the system. 
This TZ parameter is set on some apps like add-on splunk but sometime it is UTC and sometime it is GMT .
 
What time zone does the system use?
I did not find a TZ by default for the system.
